Verdict

Aquilonius bids for a hat-trick after landing a double at Lingfield and should be thereabouts again, despite a penalty and step up in class. But RAKAAN moves in the opposite direction as he's been competing in better company since defeating both Kingscroft and Alfred Hutchinson over C&D in November. The latter has won since himself and has every chance with an apprentice helping his cause but Jamie Osborne's charge is fancied to confirm superiority as he also has the beating of Trois Vallees on a line through the progressive Viewpoint.
